Answer 2

The smallest number is "x = -25". Further explanation is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The sum of numbers = -69

Let the first number be "x".

Let the second number be "x+2".

Let the third number be "x+4".

According to the question,

⇒  x+(x+2)+(x+4) = -69

⇒  x+x+2+x+4 = -69

⇒  3x+6 = -69

On subtracting "6" from both sides, we get

⇒  3x+6-6 = -69-6

⇒  3x = -75

⇒  x = -25
